I went through pregnancy on lamictal before they found it caused cleft palate. That part was fine.

What I wish I had done was make the decision not to breastfeed earlier. Baby was born sleepy, wouldn't latch, I had to pump and supplement with finger feeding, I got mastitis, it was a nightmare. And I couldn't fall asleep once she was up in the night. I spun into PPD.

Once I stopped breastfeeding, started taking benzos again, I felt so much better it wasn't even funny.

I bought in so hard into breast is best so the guilt associated with this decision was incredible. But having a healthy mum that can participate and enjoy baby's life is so much better in the long run. My daughter is 7, she was supplemented with formula after one month and exclusively formula fed at 4.5 months, she turned out just fine.

There must be something you can take during pregnancy, may not be as effective as current regime but better than nothing. Consider not breastfeeding and returning to original drugs after birth, the newborn period is hard. Also consider one child only, then you don't have to manage a kid with weak meds while pregnant.

Good luck
